Aludeck®

In a constant effort to offer value-added solutions and strive for improvement, we have developed a new type of aluminum structural deck especially designed for elevated heliports.

Helitecnica planking systems cover the full range of helicopters on the market according to the specifications set by CAP 437, FAA, ICAO, and regulations established by classification societies like DNV-GL, ABS, BV, GL and LRS.

Our systems are available in many different formats to fit the client’s requirements. Each project is studied carefully in order to apply the most adequate solution.

Helitecnica planking can be attached to any type of support structure thanks to our clamping system. This mechanism allows us to fix the aluminum profiles to the top frames of the support structure through clamps and carriage bolts. Frame beams drilling is not required and therefore reduces installation time and effort.

DNV FIRE TEST

Aludeck® has been tested according to DNV specifications and our system has been certified as being equivalent to steel in terms of its fire integrity.

DNV Fire Test

Test details:

Size of aluminum heliport prototype: 5×5 meters

The helicopter weight is simulated by a static load placed on the deck

Jet A1 fuel is continuously pumped into the prototype surface for 10 minutes

During the test, no fuel leakage or flames are observed under the deck

After the pool fire test, no damage or deformations of the platform surface were observed
